Agreed.. UMS, Album Art Support and a custom EQ would be on my top priorities list.. along with on-device deleting of songs and playlist support. Really a great little player.. just needing a few relatively simple tweaks.

Samsung, I hope you are listening..

I completely agree with that, it has great design and some great features but it needs more in the interface, like eq settings album art maybe behind the equalizer or something, games, because sometimes having speakers just isnt enough not trying to copy ipod but those are some ideas i would like to have someday.

Hey guys,
I have an issue with my k5, had it for 5 months and i have to reset it all the time.
Sometimes it just wont even turn on, so i have to reset it to turn it on, i assume its probably an issue with the firmware or maybe its crapped itself when i got it.
Anyways, i downloaded the 1.05 firmware and i open the k5 up on my comp and i have no data folder ?
So my question is do i just chuck the firmware files into the root, or do i creat a data folder and chuck them in there ?
included a picture to show you what i mean.

hello.. i got my k5 recently... and i tried to update the firmware.. i didnt "safely" remove it and so it said updating on the device and went black. i turned it back on but it freezes at the samsung start up screen but it doesnt go white. my computer doesnt recognize the device. how do i format it? i have tried resetting but it does not seem to have any effect
please help !
also.. my screen has a blue vertical line on it... what is wrong?

1. Connect K5
2. Format from in windows explorer, not wmp or samsung soft
2. Goto device manager and uninstall any K5 stuff you see.
3. Disconnect K5
4. Remove samsung media software
5. Grab this: http://www.delldjsite.com/forums/att...tachmentid=462
6. Extract and run fixup.cmd
7. Once its finished reconnect K5 and you should have your data folder now. If not format once more from in windows explorer.

I have the above device as a gift and would like very much to use it. The problem there is that when I attempted to perform a firmware upgrade 3 months ago the unit mysteriously switched off and when I try to power it up it freezes when it shows the samsung logo. What can I do to get it to start working?

It will not show up under the 'My Computer' window and i am constantly prompted to add a new hardware item by Windows. Please assist. I have tried to obtain the firmware file from the location specified in this forum but I get an expired page warning.
